Mahindra Scorpio N
- Gets powerful turbo-petrol and diesel engines along with the option of four wheel drive.
- Looks rugged and has a commanding road presence.
- Offers good space for five people and their luggage.
- Its features list is a well-loaded balance of comfort, convenience and tech.

Citroen C3
